Depends on the boat and manufacturer. Component wise, they are the same.
However, they may or may not have a different gear ratio in them. Depends
on the weight of the boat and how they are setup. In general they tend to
use the same gear but not always.

Hey all I was at the boat shop today drooling over the new SeaRays (so
bad
that I had to change my shirt when I got home). I noticed that the 3.0
litre
had the same outdrive (alpha 1) as the 4.3 litre. Do the outdrive differ
internally or do they use the same gearing and all, and just change the
prop? Just curious
Thanks
Steve
